Kono texting like this.

Danny's POV

He was nervous. More nervous than he should be. He knew she would say yes but what if she said no? It wasn't like they hadn't hung out with his daughter before. But this would be the first time that they would all be hanging out on a 1-on-1 basis. It was his weekend to have her anyway and she had already met and hung around her before. But still, this is the first time that she would be meeting her as his girlfriend. Woah, that was the first time that he had said that to himself. Did he already think of her as his girlfriend? Maybe he shouldn't say that to her out loud yet. In case she got scared and ran away. Plus, it had been quite a few years since he had even had a girlfriend. The last one had been Rachel and we all know how that one had turned out. But Kono was not Rachel. It wasn't the same feelings and reactions that he had to Rachel. Unlike Rachel, Kono was warm all the time. Completely tanned to Rachel's pale skin. Every time she spoke, her voice was like honey: warm and rich with a calmness to it. Playful and athletic to Rachel's stiff and lithe. Though Rachel didn't work out, she managed to stay thin because of her high metabolism. He actually enjoyed someone who had an active lifestyle as well; made sure that he stayed on top of his game not just for work but for them as well. Or rather for Kono. He smiled at the thought of her name. Okay, he had it bad if he was smiling at the thought of her name. He ducked his head, not that he had anyone to hid the grin from but he did realize that it would probably look fairly stupid to anyone walking by. He finally saw her walk by his office as she headed to hers. He almost fell over his desk getting out of his chair. He straighten himself before calmly walking out the door and headed to her office. Chin and Steve were already in their offices, already into their paperwork. He knocked on her glass door before walking in.

End Danny's POV

"Hey, you busy yet?" Danny questioned.

"I just got into my office. I haven't even had time to roll my eyes because of paperwork. What's up?" Kono responded as she sat down at her desk. He smirked at her comment, walked over and leaned on the edge of her desk.

"Well, I have Gracie this weekend and we were already going there but I was wondering if you would like to join us at Wet 'n' Wild? If you have other plans then it's okay..." Danny trailed off. He hoped she didn't have other plans but she had her own life.

"Danny Williams, are you asking me to officially meet your daughter?" Kono smiled slyly. A slight tinge of pink rose on his cheeks and he ducked his head. His hand went to the back of his neck in his nervousness. Kono's smile softened and she rested her hand on his lower thigh. His eyes whipped to her hand on his thigh before connecting with her eyes. "I would love to join you and Grace this weekend. Text me the details later," Kono said. Danny broke into a relieved grin.

"Great! I'll text you later this week," Danny responded, "catch you around Kono."

"See ya Danny," Kono replied. She smiled before turning her attention to the first folder off of her pile and opened it so that she could knock down her small hill of paper work. Danny pushed off of her desk and walked out her door. He was grinning like an idiot as he headed back to his office. Luckily, both Steve and Chin were still too caught up in their paperwork to notice him otherwise he wouldn't have heard the end of it. He set off doing his paperwork happily for the rest of the day, even offering to take all of their relevant paperwork to HPD to join it with their case files. It was usually one of the more hated jobs that they had but with the good mood that he was in, he was happy to do all of the nitty gritty jobs that the others didn't want to do today. Chin raised his eyebrows at the offer before he handed over his paperwork giving a swift 'Thanks!' while Steve had screwed up his face, studying Danny.

"What has got you so happy today?" Steve questioned.

"Oh, nothing," Danny responded as he went to pull the folder away from Steve. Steve kept a solid grip on it as he studied Danny. Even this little bit of back and forth wasn't enough to falter Danny's good mood as he smiled down at Steve, "You gonna let go of the folder?"

"Just as soon as you tell me why you're in such a good mood. It's weird and slightly off putting."

"You're such a cynic Steve. Can't a guy just be in a good mood every once in a while?"

"Any usual guy, yes. But you? You're only in a good mood when we either catch an extremely bad guy or when you have Grace. And seeing as it's been a while since we've caught anyone and it's still a few days until the weekend, I wanna know what's got you grinning like an idiot?"

Seeing as he wasn't going to get out of Steve's office any other way, he responded, "I'm going on an outing this weekend where my girlfriend is gonna meet my Gracie."

"You have a girlfriend? How did I not know about this?" Steve enquired.

"Because unlike some of us around here, I don't put my entire personal life on stereo."

"Well, how did you meet her? What's she like?"

"None of your beeswax you Nosey Nelly! I'll tell you when I'm good and ready!"

"Oooh, she must be very special for you to be keeping her this big of a secret and for you to be introducing her to Gracie!"

"You can either have these folders delivered now or you can deliver them yourself later. What's it gonna be Steven?"

Steve shoved the folders into Danny's hands, "Fine, but I will get to hear about her sooner or later, right?"

"Of course. As soon as we're on solid ground, I'll introduce you to her."

"I'll hold you to that." Steve went back into the rest of his paperwork as he left Danny to find his way out of his office. With that, Danny turned on his heels and headed downstairs to head out to HPD.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

A few days later, Danny was resting on his couch when he had finally gotten around to chatting with Grace about their weekend plans. They had decided to get there around 10:30 in the morning so they would have to leave around 9:45. Grace was very excited about the upcoming weekend but still had 2 days until they got to it.

He reclined against the side of his couch while he flicked through the channels, looking for anything to watch. With the details now sorted, he could now contact Kono.

Hey

He had barely put the phone down when it dinged and vibrated in his hand.

Hey. What's up?

Nothing much. Just trying to find something interesting to watch on TV tonight. What's up with you?

Nothing really. Drinking beer and watching the news.

What's it say? 'Another perfect, sunny day tomorrow. Everyone, please keep surfing'?

Lol! Yes actually. If you haven't realized, that's what all our weather reports are like.

Meh, figured as much now. I didn't know it was possible for one place to get so much sun!

Well suck it up Williams. You're in Hawaii now!

And since when did you become a drill sergeant?

Since right now :P. You gonna obey me?

I'll take it under advisement.

Lol!

The reason I was initially contacting you is to let you know about this weekend. I've sorted it out with Grace and we've decided to be there for 10:30.

That's a bit early for a weekend. Why so early?

The way I figured, we can some of the first in for the day and roughly be out before the sun starts trying to seriously kill us.

The sun is not that bad here Danny.

Are you serious? I've got pictures of me from New Jersey versus now and I almost look like those girls up there who tan all the time.

Stop being so dramatic! I think you look perfectly fine. It's a healthy suntan. Plus, you forever have sunscreen in your bag or your car so it's not like your being unhealthy.

True. So, you'll meet us there in your car and we can set up a place to meet before we head in?

Absolutely.

I would be lying if I said this wasn't a reason to get the chance to see you in a bikini again.

Why Danny Williams, that almost sounded like a line.

Well I hope so. That's what I was aiming for ;)

Alrighty there smooth talker :P. I'll see you this weekend.

See you this weekend Kono. Good night xoxo

Good Night Danny XOXOX

Danny stretched and yawned. He checked the time to see that it was about time for him to get into bed for the evening. He locked up his windows and doors before heading for his bedroom. He changed for bed and sunk under the covers, content in his plan and excited for the weekend to come.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Saturday had finally come. Danny was excited for Grace to be over this weekend but he was nervous for Grace to meet Kono. Grace and Kono had met before but this was more official. It might take a few times for Grace to get it cause she had already met Kono but not yet as his girlfriend. Danny had had his cup of coffee and sat down to have a substantial breakfast with Grace. One that didn't leave them too full as to all the activities that they were going to be doing today. They changed into their swimsuits and clothes, grabbed their towels and loaded into the car. They drove to Wet 'n' Wild and pulled into a parking spot. Danny pulled out his phone and sent a message to Kono.

Hey, you here?

They gathered their things and got out of the car. He took Grace's hand and started across the parking lot. His phone buzzed in his hand.

Yeah, I'm waiting by the front gate.

As they got closer to the front gate, Danny started searching for Kono. He saw her waving and smiling at him. He waved back.

"Hey," he smiled when he saw her.

"Hey," she responded. He reached forward and pulled her into a one armed hug.

"Grace, you remember Kono right?"

"Yeah, she's your coworker who's the really good surfer. Hi Kono!" Grace waved at Kono.

"Hey Grace, howzit?"

"I'm good. Danno, she gonna be joining us today?"

"Well, she intends to. Do you mind?"

"No, she's pretty cool." Grace smiled up at Kono. Danny smiled down at his daughter. Her willingness to trust the people that he brought around astounded him. But he also didn't trust just anyone with his daughter either. They walked up to the front gate.

"Hey Maika'i! Howzit?! I didn't know you were working today!" Kono greeted the ticket attendant.

"Kono! Howzit? You didn't tell me you were coming today! And who is this pretty girl?" The attendant replied.

"This is Grace. And this is Grace's dad and my coworker Danny. Danny, Grace, this is my cousin Maika'i," Kono said by way of introduction. Grace waved at Maika'i. Danny smiled and waved.

Her cousin pulled her closer and whispered, "Please tell me that ke kanaka ho'okola is available." Kono grinned at her cousin and turned her head to Danny.

"Nope, I'm dating him," Kono stated as she stared at Danny.

"I'm jealous," her cousin frowned slightly.

Danny had been conversing with Grace while the cousins talked. He looked up to see the two women looking at him; both with a hint of lust in their eyes. While he saw Kono with a sexy smile on her face, her cousin was a different look altogether. He actually saw her lick her lips and he couldn't help the blush that rose along his neck. He ducked his head and proceeded to talk to Grace again. Kono realized that it was something he did frequently when got nervous and she found it endearing.

"Tell you what, I'll give you guys the employee discount cause your friend there is just so..." she looked down towards Grace, "'charming'. You guys enjoy your time inside! I'll call ahead to Mei and get a locker reserved for you guys. Regular or a Family sized?"

Kono and Danny looked at each other. They hadn't thought of this. Danny stepped forward and stated, "A family sized locker please." He turned back to Kono, "No use in paying for 2 different lockers when we can simply share 1. I mean, it's not like all our stuff is taking up an excessive amount of space."

"Anything you want 'oki'oki," Maika'i said dreamily as she leaned forward on her hand and looked at Danny. Danny returned the smile. He wasn't 100% but he was pretty sure that she was flirting with him now. Kono rolled her eyes and grabbed Danny's hand, dragging him and Grace away from her cousin.

"Thanks cuz!" Kono yelled as she turned back, waving at her cousin as they headed further into the park. They headed towards the center of the park at a leisurely pace due to Grace looking around trying to take in the entire park.

"So, I know Steve and I have asked this question before but exactly how many cousins do you and Chin have?!" Kono just smiled at him as they pulled up to the line for the lockers. Kono stepped out of the line and tried to look over or around the heads of the people in the line. She made eye contact with a woman who looked slightly like Kono and they both waved at each other. She quickly finished off with the person in front of her and rushed out from the hut.

"Kono!"

"Mei! How are you?"

"I'm great! How are you doing?"

"I'm good! Mei, this is my coworker Dannys and his daughter Grace. Guys, this is my cousin Mei," Kono made introductions for the second time that day. Danny and Grace waved at the new cousin. She slid the key into Kono's hand as she gave her a hug goodbye.

Kono turned around and lead them over to the lockers. They each stripped and placed their stuff in the lockers. Danny helped Grace with the sunscreen, rubbing it into the places she couldn't reach. Once he finished with her, he started on himself. He turned to ask Kono to help him with his back. When he caught sight of her, the words died on his lips. She had come in a slightly different bikini today. The bottoms we're black and the top was bright pink. She was throwing her hair up into a ponytail. She caught Danny's gaze and winked at him. "Need help with sunscreen Danny?" Kono asked. Danny nodded his head and absently handed the sunscreen to her. Seeing as he had no intentions of taking his eyes off of her, she shook her head and rolled her eyes before walking around him to his back. She squirted some into her hand and passed it to Grace, "Can you hold this for me Grace please?"

"Sure Kono. Can I help you with yours?"

"Sure Grace, that would be a great help," she handed the bottle to Grace. Grace squirted some into her hands and started on Kono's legs. Kono smiled at her while she stared intently at the job she was doing. Kono turned back to Danny and started rubbing the lotion into his back. She saw him visibly relax into her touch and she smiled to herself. This had been the most genuine smiling she had done in a while in such a short period of time.

"Okay, I've finished the back. Turn around please Kono," Grace requested. Kono had just finished Danny's back. Grace squirted more on her hands while she waited for Kono to turn around.

Before she could smack her hands together, Kono asked Grace for the lotion. "Hey Danny, can you get my back while I get my front please?" Kono asked Danny. Danny gulped as he nodded and took the lotion from Kono's hand. He squirted some in his hand and started on her shoulders. Kono smiled to herself as she felt his hands tentatively slid over her shoulders and down her back to her waist and hips. As he slid further south, the touch got lighter. "It's okay to touch me Danny. I'm not going to break."

"Ye-yeah, I know. Just don't want you to think I'm trying to press my luck." Grace had finished helping with her lower half so Kono stepped back more firmly into his hands. She let out a low moan so that only Danny could hear her. She heard him take in a breath. He did a last swipe over her shoulders and dropped his hands down to his side. "Done!" He announced slightly louder than he meant to. Kono turned so she could look over her shoulder at him.

"Thanks for the assist," she whispered and winked at him. She held her hand out to Grace and asked, "Where to first Gracie?"

"How about those big slides over there?" Grace said pointing to Volcano Express. Danny broke out of his surprise when he saw where Grace was pointing.

"Down hill headfirst racing? Are you trying to give me a heart attack child?" Danny said in shock.

"Danno," Grace whined, "let loose a little. Isn't today about fun?" She was already pulling Kono towards the large slides.

Danny rushed to catch up to them. He leaned in and stage whispered to the both of them, "This girl is going to be the death of me." He grabbed Grace's other hand and they swung her back and forth between them on their way to the slides. They each collected a mat and slowly took the stairs to the top of the ride. Once at the top, they joined a single guy when their turn came around. "See you guys at the bottom, I'll be waiting for you two."

"In your dreams buster," Kono chided back at him, "we'll see you at the bottom. Right Gracie?" Kono turned to look at Grace.

"Right," Grace said determinedly. She got a hard look on her face as she waited for the lifeguard on duty to give the signal. When the lifeguard gave the signal, Grace pushed off aggressively, trying to get a head start. Everyone disappeared down their tubes, turning away from each other. They twist and turned in darkness til they all emerged into the sunlight. Danny and the guy warring for first place, followed by Kono and a few seconds later, Grace. They slid to an eventual stop and stood up.

"Told you guys I would win," Danny smirked as he stood up and faced them when they had finally pulled to a stop.

"You cheated Danno," Grace determined, crossing her arms across her chest. "I don't know how but you cheated."

"How the heck could I cheat at this?" Danny questioned his daughter as they all stepped over the partitions to exit the slides. They dropped off their boards as they headed to the next ride.

"I don't know but you did," Grace sulked.

"Well don't worry, the next ride is a family one with no race aspect whatsoever," Danny consoled her as he pulled her into his side. They were still mostly dry so it wasn't too cold. They headed next door to O-Hana Highway. They all climbed the stairs and waited in the still small line. The line moved fairly swiftly. Thank goodness they were still early so the lines moved much faster and were much shorter. It was only a few minutes of standing on the steps before it was their turn. They all jumped into the large tube together. Grace wanted to look forward so that she could see where they were going the entire time. Danny assured her that she wouldn't always be facing that way. Not more than 1/3 of the way down, the tube had rotated so that Grace had her back to the slide and she couldn't see where they were going anymore not that she cared as she was screaming and smiling down the ride along with Danny and Kono. They came to the bottom in a moderate splash, all laughing and holding on to the sides. They floated to a stop by the bottom lifeguard and did the odd scoot to get out of the huge tube. Kono and Danny splashed into the water, both landing about waist height. Danny helped Grace out of the tube and placed her on the pool bottom. They strode slowly to climb out and head to the next ride. Tornado was pretty great for Kono and Grace (though Danny looked a little shaken after coming off of that ride), next was the Waianae Coasters in which Danny and Grace rode on a double down an open slide while Kono went in one next to them in an enclosed one, they got to Hawaiian Waters where Danny grabbed an inner tube and floated while Kono taught Grace how to bodysurf, moved on to Big Kahuna which Grace deemed a bore, they bypassed Shaka altogether cause even Danny admitted that it looked dull, they did Surf Sliders 3 times so that they each got to experience every slide. They sat on the side at the Water World while Grace ran about on the equipment. She was scrambling up rope ladders and across pads, sliding down slides with Danny only yelling at her twice to be careful.

"Thanks for inviting me to join you guys this weekend," Kono said as she turned her head to Danny from her place on her lounger.

"Thanks for joining us," Danny smiled back. He continued staring at Kono as she watched Grace climb across another few pods, holding on to the ropes above her head. "Why don't you come and join me on the lounger?" Danny suggested.

"Don't you think it would be a bit much around Grace?" Kono asked cautiously. She looked over to see where Grace was. She was distracted as she joined a few other kids going down the large, green slide, splashing into the water and bobbing right back up a moment later.

"Nah, she'll be alright. Plus, if she asks, we'll just say you were cold," Danny said as he moved his leg off the lounger and offered his hand to her. Kono looked at him for a moment before she got off of her lounger and sat in between his legs on his. She leaned back against him as he wrapped his arms around her. She smiled when he wrapped his arms around her. He smiled when she settled into his arms, resting his head on the top of her hair. They were able to get a good 20 minute break from all the crazy before Grace came bounding up to them. They could easily see her as she was splashing with new friends as she got closer. They separated before she got too close.

"Hey Danno, my new friends told me about this ride here called 'Da Flowrider'! They say it's just like surfing! Can I try it?" Grace asked excitedly.

"Let's take a look at it first Monkey. Which way is it?" Danny replied.

"It's right next door," Grace said as she grabbed his and Kono's hand and trying to pull them up from the lounger. They casually followed behind her as she pulled them by their hands, trying to urge them to speed up. When they rounded the corner, Danny got a good look at the ride.

"Nuh-uh. Like heck you're going on that thing Grace! That looks like a bit too much."

"But Danno! It's perfectly safe for kids to do!"

"No way Grace, that looks too dangerous."

Kono leaned down to look Grace in the eyes, "Hey, what say I take a turn at it and show your dad what he's missing? You can live vicariously through me until another time."

"What does vicarious mean?"

"It means living through another. Like when you were playing in Water World back there. I am too tall to play on those so it could be said that I was able to experience it through you. Understand?"

"I think so. So you gonna do it so I can live vicariously through you when you do Da Flowrider?"

"Absolutely. Let's do this!" Kono held up her hands to give a double high five to Grace. Grace slapped her hand against Kono's in excitement, looking more excited by the moment. Kono stood in the line and waited her turn. When it was her turn, she waved at Danny and Grace, winked at them before flying flat on the board and jumping into the wave. She moved to her knees and then quickly got to her feet. She then employed all her surfing skills to stay on the board, surfing to one side then the other. As she turned sharply, she created waves that went off the sides of Da Flowrider. She was able to also do a few turns and even threw in a few 360's. Grace was cheering loudly from the sidelines as Kono performed for the crowd. She could have gone on for a while but decided to call it quits and stop the little show she was putting on. Grace raced up to her when she was close to them again. She threw herself around Kono's legs.

"Kono, that was so cool!" Grace beamed. Grace looked up at Kono and lifted her arms up. Kono's eyebrows rose as she looked down to Grace then looked to Danny. Danny smiled and indicated with his hand. She looked back down at Grace and picked her up. Grace wrapped her legs around Kono who settled the young girl on her side. She wrapped her arms around Kono's neck. "You're cool Kono. Can you teach me to do that one day? Maybe teach me to surf?"

"Maybe one day, if your dad says it's okay," Kono blushed slightly, not used to such praise in a while. "I'm getting kinda hungry. You ready to go and eat something Gracie?"

"Yeah, let's go eat!" Grace added. Danny smiled at his girls. He stepped close and kissed Grace on the cheek. Kono used one arm to hold Grace up against her left side while Danny reached for her right hand. He interlocked their fingers and kissed her on her cheek. They headed back to the lockers so they could get Danny's wallet. They grabbed their towels so they could dry off a bit before heading to the food court. Kono had put Grace down so she could properly dry herself. Once dry enough, they put their towels back into the lockers and headed over. It was just 1:00 so it was still the thick of the lunch crowd. As they grabbed a few burgers, fries, 2 large sodas as well as 3 bottles of water, they said 'Hey!' To another one of Kono's cousins behind the counter. Danny thought it was ridiculous and asked how many cousins Kono had that worked in the park. Kono informed him that it was 10 that she knew of. They all wolfed down their food, not realizing quite how hungry they all were. Kono sucked back half her soda while Danny and Grace shared the other one, almost finishing it. Everyone then took their own bottle of water and took a few large gulps. With everyone satisfied but not quite ready to get back into anything tough, they all headed for Kapolei Kooler to drift around while staying slightly cool.

They each grabbed an inner tube and headed into the water, staying on the side. Kono held onto her and Danny's tubes while he helped Grace on top of hers. He held on to the handle while allowing Kono the opportunity to get onto her inner tube. Kono held onto the handrail while also holding on to the handle for Grace's inner tube so they didn't float away. Danny jumped into his and grabbed the other side of Grace's. He nodded to Kono and she let go. They slowly drifted along the river. Danny turned himself so that he could grab onto Kono's inner tube. He grabbed the side of Grace's inner tube that Kono was holding on to. Kono let go and he swung Grace out slightly. Grace was enjoying simply drifting and didn't notice that she was handed off. He moved his hand from the handle of Kono's inner tube to grab her hand. He smiled at her and she returned the smile before they both leaned back and drifted along the river, all connected. After 10 minutes, Grace was a little restless and started wiggling her way out of the inner tube. Danny felt the shifting of Grace's inner tube. He opened one eye to check her out. He saw what she was trying to do and smirked at her. Once she splashed out of it, she immediately went back under her inner tube and popped up in the middle of it, hanging off the side while lazily kicking her feet. Danny lazily turned his head to Kono.

"You ready to get out?" Danny asked to Kono.

"Yeah, I'm good now," Kono replied.

Danny turned his head the other way to his daughter, "You ready to get out Grace?"

"Yeah, but I don't want to leave yet," Grace responded.

"Well, where do you wanna go?" Danny asked her.

"Can we go back to Water World?" Grace begged.

"Sure. You good with that Kono?"

"I'm good with whatever brah. I am loose and happy right now," Kono assured.

"Look for our next out Gracie. We'll offload these tubes and head back," Danny uttered. Grace nodded and slowly paddled to the side closer to the side so it would be easier when they passed by a handrail again. When they came close to the handrail, Grace reached out and grabbed it. Kono and Danny drifted by and felt themselves get pulled slightly back against the flow of the river. They opened their eyes to see that Grace had pulled them to a stop. They hopped down from their inner tubes, grabbing them before they could float away. They deposited their inner tubes back into the holders and slowly walked back with Danny in between them, holding both their hands. When they got back to Water World, Grace saw some of the kids she was playing with earlier. She looked up at Danny hopefully. He nodded and lead her off with his hand. She dropped his hand and went to join her new friends. Danny and Kono waded into the knee height water, slowly wandering around to the other side of the apparatus where the buckets were that poured water down on you when they were full. They waited a few cycles until they were drenched again. Kono wrung out her ponytail while Danny shook his head back and forth before running his hands over his hair to get rid of the access water. Danny pulled Kono into his arms as they stepped out of the flow of the buckets. He wrapped his arms around her waist and she rested hers on his shoulders. "Thanks again for coming Kono."

"Thanks for inviting me. I enjoyed spending the day with you and Grace. You know, you really do have a great kid there Danny."

"Thanks. Regardless of everything that happened between Rachel and I, she's still a bubbly and outgoing kid." He couldn't see her but she crossed his mind and Kono could see his smile change slightly, get softer. "By the way, I never told you how good your bikini looks on you today. Very nice!" He held her back slightly and let his eyes roam appreciatively down her body.

She did a twirl in his arms to show off the whole thing outfit or what little there was of it and smiled when she caught his gaze aimed at her ass. "Eyes up here Detective," Kono expressed. While she checked him out, his eyes travelled back up her body but settled on her lips. She eventually looked back from appreciating the view that she was taking in to see him staring intently at her lips. She licked them slowly, suddenly nervous. Her tongue darted out and he tracked the movement. Kono's eyes met his. His eyes flickered back down to her lips and lingered for a few seconds. He quickly looked back to her eyes, looking for any hesitation on her part. Seeing none, he leaned in and pressed his lips to hers. She sighed into the kiss. He tilted his head to quickly deepen the kiss, sweeping his tongue across her lips. She opened her mouth and allowed his tongue entrance into hers. Their tongues danced together for a few seconds before they pulled back, putting their foreheads together and smiling. They each heaved a sigh, a bit disappointed that they couldn't allow it to continue because of where they were.

"Ready to get outta here?" Danny asked, dipping back in to steal another kiss.

Kono sighed heavily before answering, "I'm ready to get out of here so we can do more of this." She dipped her head back down quickly and captured his lips again. Pressing her full body against his and wrapping her arms around his neck to bring his body flush with hers. He immediately responded, breathing in deeply, he tighten his arms around her waist and tried to deepen the kiss again. She pulled her upper body from his, separating them again. He leaned forward, trying to get her warmth and her lips back against his.

Danny groaned, "Kono, you keep doing that and we might be kicked out of here for what happens next."

Kono grinned saucily at him, "Just giving you something to think about until next time."

"You're killing me here Kono."

"You can't handle it, old man?" She grinned.

"Oh-ho! Old man! That's how you wanna play it?" Danny leaned in to Kono's ear and whispered, "Just wait until next time. I'll show you 'old man'." As he said this, he ran his hands down her spine and settled them on her hips, gripping her slightly tighter. Kono felt heat start to pool in her belly. She pushed back out of Danny's grasp. She leaned down and splashed water on her face and down the back of her neck. She straightened to see Danny with his arms across his chest, smirking at her.

"Shut up," she snapped. Danny shook his head and offered her his hand. She took it but not before sticking out her tongue at him. They went back around to the other side of the equipment to look for Grace. As soon as they emerged, they dropped hands. They saw her wading in the water slightly away from the equipment with a few friends. Danny called her name and Grace looked up. He told her to say goodby to her friends, they were getting ready to leave. She quickly said goodbye to her new friends and lightly jogged to her dad and Kono. She reached for Danny's hand and they turned to head back to the lockers. They all quickly dried and switched back into their clothes. They went to drop off their key and head to the exit. Once they hit the entrance/exit to the park, Grace let out a big yawn. Danny smiled down at her as she rubbed her eyes with her free hand. They confirmed where their cars were, surprised to find that yet again, they had parked relatively close to each other. They walked to Danny's car so that he could put Grace in and buckle her up. She immediately sagged against the seat with her head falling to the side. Once that was done, he closed the door to say goodbye to Kono. He placed a lingering kiss on her lips before she turned and headed back to her car. Danny smiled after her before turning back and getting into his car.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Hey Danno, are you and Kono a couple?" Grace asked her dad sleepily.

"Why do you ask?"

"Well, I saw you guys holding hands and being a bit touchy-feely with each other. And I saw you guys kiss outside the car. Plus, you haven't really brought any women around me since we've been here or since you and mom split." Danny was always amazed at how perceptive his little girl could be. He found it to be better to be truthful with her. She seemed to have a sense when he was lying to her.

"Well, actually yes. We just started dating but it's still fairly new. We're seeing how we feel about each other and where it goes."

Grace smiled, "Good. You deserve to be happy Danno. Plus, I like Kono. She's cool, she's nice and she can surf. Hopefully one day she can teach us how to surf as well."

"Us?"

Grace yawned, "Yeah. That way, our entire ohana can surf together." Danny smiled at his daughter as she snuggled into the seat. He patted her hair.

"We can definitely make a plan for that in the future." He saw her smile slightly. As she began breathing deeper, her features relaxed and her breath evened out. Danny placed his hands back on the wheel and continued to drive them home.

If I got the translation correct (and I hope I did but please feel free to correct me), ke kanaka ho'okola means sexy man and 'oki'oki means cutie.
